Climate and Sustainability Language – Glossary

Essential shared definitions and common language for building and implementing climate solutions.

Every month we add to a growing glossary of shared definitions in the Origin Report. Since climate change is a global challenge, the importance of having a common shared language on what we mean when we say certain words is essential to managing change.

All of the definitions that Pike Origin shares are developed through research and peer review, but are considered “working definitions” as Pike Origin maintains a common forum to discuss and update as definitions may evolve.
